The 58º Festival de Brasília do Cinema Brasileiro is an annual film festival and the oldest in Brazil, established in 1965 by Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes. Promoted by the government of the Federal District, it is scheduled to take place between September 12 and 20, featuring exhibitions of national films and workshops. A unique aspect of the festival is that films, whether features or shorts, must be unreleased and ideally not have received awards at other national festivals to be eligible for competition. The festival awards the prestigious Troféu Candango and includes a Mostra Brasília, which supports local audiovisual production with cash prizes for films from the Federal District. The 58th edition includes a selection of seven feature films and twelve shorts in the National Competitive Showcase, along with other competitive and parallel showcases.
